Loveland, CO - August 3, 2009 - Colorado vNet, a Loveland, CO -based manufacturer of award -winning home automation and distributed audio/video systems, will launch a new family of Vibe™ Touchscreens at the CEDIA Expo in Atlanta, Georgia in September. The new 4.7 -inch and 7 -inch Touchscreens offer a choice of integrated 50 watt digital amplifier (25 watts per channel), 100 watt digital amplifier (50 watts per channel), or no amplifier - and both include microphone and speaker to support a future intercom application.

Featured Product

The new Yale Real Living™ Assure Lock™ with Bluetooth replaces conventional keys with digital keys accessed through the Yale Digital Keys app for Android and iOS mobile devices, and through an app for the new Samsung Gear S2 smartwatch. The Yale app allows homeowners to unlock doors, send keys to others, control when others have access, get a message when someone enters, and revoke a digital key at any time. Unlocking the deadbolt couldn't be simpler, whether using the Samsung Gear S2 or a smartphone. With the new Samsung Gear S2, touch the watch app to activate the digital key, then touch the lock screen to unlock the deadbolt. With a smartphone, Yale's "Twist and Go" technology allows the user to hold the phone vertically when approaching the door, then twist it 90 degrees to unlock the deadbolt. Homeowners can also unlock the deadbolt using its capacitive touchscreen and a four- to eight-digit code.
